Can't eject disc via UI
#1
Hello

When using the Confluence skin and if I insert a DVD disc a Play Disc menu item appears, the sub-menu of this is Eject/Load. If I select this the disc is not ejected.

If I use terminal and use the eject -v command, it says CD-ROM eject command failed but SCSI eject succeeded.

Code:
xbmc@xbmc01:~$ eject -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/sr0'
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded

I am using XBMC V12,2 on Ubuntu 12.10 Minimal

How can I fix this?

Many thanks

I have fixed the problem but not sure if this is a permanent fix ?

This post here suggests editing the 60-cdrom_id.rules, however that files states: # do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on update.

But the suggested edit does work and now when I select the Eject/Load menu item the disc is ejected OK.

Thanks
